About the event
Craftsperson Gabrielle Brown joins Rachel for an in-depth exploration of the edible and fiber producing plants of the coastal shoreline at a nearby Cushing preserve. Back in the Langlais Teaching Studio, Gabrielle will guide participants through the process of weaving handheld cattail baskets. Afterwards, participants will partake in a shared wild food picnic among the sculptures featuring Rachel’s preparations of Maine’s finest coastal treats, such as sea radish pickles, green spanakopita, and seaweed snacks.
